(g) SRS Warning Light
This indicator comes on when the “IG
ON” mode is enabled. It goes off after
about 6 seconds. This means the SRS
front airbags, side and curtain shield
airbags and seat belt pretensioners are
operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors,
driver ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat
belt buckle switch, front passenger occu-
pant classification system and indicator
light, front passenger ’s seat belt buckle
switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
interconnecting wiring and power sources.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

“IG −ON” mode is enabled or remains

sage appears on the display to remind the

(j) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the “IG −ON”
mode is enabled, and will go off after
about a few seconds. When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after engine oil replacement, this
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then flashes for about 12 seconds when
the hybrid system is in the “IG
−ON”
mode. If you continue driving without en-
gine oil replacement, and if the driving
range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the
light will come on after the “IG −ON” mode
is enabled. The light will remain on there-
after.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace the oil as soon as possible.
The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:
1. Press the “POWER” switch to the “OFF” mode
with the odometer reading
shown. (For details, see “Odometer and
two trip meters” on page 123.)
2. Press the “POWER” switch twice to select the “IG −ON” mode while holding
down the trip meter reset button.

(a) Charging System Warning Light
When there are problems in the charging
system while the hybrid system is running,
the warning light comes on.
NOTICE
When the charging system warning
light comes on while the hybrid sys-
tem is running, malfunctions may
have occurred. If the warning light
comes on, immediately stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
(b) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If it stays on while you are driving, pull
off the road to a safe place and stop the
engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer
or qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one block.
It may ruin the engine.
(c) High Coolant Temperature Warning Light
The light operates to warn that the hybrid
system is almost over heating.
If it comes on while you are driving, stop
the vehicle and check your hybrid system.
For detailed instructions, see “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 360.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
NOTICE
 Do not remove the thermostat in
the cooling system as this may
cause the hybrid system to over-
heat. The thermostat is designed to
control the flow of coolant to keep
the temperature of the hybrid sys-
tem within the specified operating
range.
 Continued driving with the light on
could result in the overheating of
hybrid system.
